Bathroom Knowledge

I recently inhabited the first stall in the men’s bathroom closest to the reserve reading room in Pattee Library. The one that’s somewhat hidden behind some sort of coin machine or vending machine. I can’t remember which.

Normally I enjoy reading bathroom graffiti — it gives me something for my mind to think about other than “Is this going to smear when I wipe?” Thankfully this stall had enough written material to make it worthy of being a library bathroom. Tomes upon tomes of words from the everyman.

Curious what the everyman had to say?

“Perno is gay” — What? Does he mean porno? Paterno? I don’t know.

“I would write my name here but that would be graffiti.” — A half-baked attempt at irony… better than “insert name here takes it up the ass”
“John 3:16″ — Shouldn’t you write it out? Most christians have this memorized and don’t necessarily need to read it on the bathroom stall. How many nonchristians walk into the bathroom with a Bible?

“Those who write on shithouse walls
roll their shit in little balls
Those who read the words of wit
eat those little balls of shit.” — I think this might be more accurate than the author originally intended.

“Leeroy Jeeeeeeeenkins” and “All your mullets are belong to us.” — These rank in there as quite frightening seeing how recent and topical they are. (although… why mullets?)
